TEACHER DISCLAIMER: The purpose of this blog is to be a fun way for friends and family of the Monhegan School to stay up-to-date with all of our events and activities. I am often writing this blog in between teaching subjects, making copies, or planning for multiple grades. I sometimes may forget to cross my t's or dot my i's but I would hope people understand this is in no way a formal document and/or a representation of the teaching that happens at school. Thanks and enjoy!

Smartest School Dog-In-Training EVER!

I know, I know... enough with the dog already. But really... this is pretty amazing!

Millie has somehow channeled Maya as the school dog. She does so many things that are SO Maya! For one... she will not leave the school yard while we are in session. Here she is sitting at the drive way... just guarding the school.

She often will go out and just sit on the step for an hour at a time. Just watching and guarding... JUST like Maya use to do.

Even when people call her from the road... she won't leave her spot until they come up the school path and meet her.

I mean, come on... she is 12 weeks old! She is a genius... I am so glad she is channeling Maya.

And I never even tried to train Maya to do this! I worked with her this weekend at school to ring the bell when she wanted to go out and presto! She can do it!

It was so cute today to all be quietly working and then we hear a little jingle-jingle and there is little Millie waiting at the door to go out!
